ULOTHESLINE ATTACHMENT.

Application filed. April 19, 1921.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, WILLIAM Bunnn, a citizen of the United States, residing in Brooklyn, in the county of Kings, city of New York, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clothcsline Attachments, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact specification.

My invention relates to clothes line attachments and refers particularly to clothes line attachments whereby clothes may be attached to a line extending outside of a room, Or house, such attachment being made within the room, or house.

In addition to the great danger incident to leaning out of a window, in order to attach clothes to a line outside of the house, the operation requires a great deal of strength and inconvenience, as the clothes must beheld. while they are being so attached.

The device of my invention overcomes these difliculties and presents a means whereby clothes may be readily attached to the line within the room and then conveyed outwardly through the window of the room, thus overcoming the danger of falling from the window.

In the accompanying drawings illustrating one form of the device of my invention and means for its application, similar parts are designated by similar numerals.

Figure 1 is a plan view of one form of my device and a method of attachment illustrating the position of parts after clothes have been attached to the line.

Figure 2 is a broken enlarged plan view showing the position of the parts of my device while the clothes are being attached to the line.

Figure 3 is a bottom plan view of Figure 2.

The particular form of the device of my invention, shown in the accompanying drawings, comprises a supporting member composed of the flat member and the extended pivot 11. Pivotally attached to the pivot 11'is an arm 13, carrying the pulley 14; attached thereto by the hook 15 and the staple 16. Pivotally attached to the pivot 11 is also the take-up member 17, carrying the two hooks 18.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 2d, 1922?,

Serial no. 462,663.

A clothes line 19 passes over the pulley 14 of the arm 13 and the pulley 20 which is attached to the pole 21.

The flat member 10 of the supporting member is attached outside of the window to the window casing, or other support, alllowing the pivotal member 11 to extend inwardly beyond the window frame.

In the drawings, an outside window frame 22 carries the window sash 23, with the glass 24-, and an inside window frame 25 carries the window sash 26 with the glass 27.

Figure 2 represents the device in a position for attaching clothes to the line. Both sashes are raised and the arm 13 extends inwardly into the room. Clothes, as 28, are attached to the line 19, which is pulled outwardly around the pulleys 14; and 20, as the clothes are attached.

"When the clothes are atlixed to the line, the device is positioned, as shown in Figure 1, by revolving the arm 17 until the hooks 18, 18 engage the line 19, and the arm 13 revolved downwardly outside the window, thus allowing the window to be closed.

It will thus be seen that the clothes may be attached to the line within the room and, by means of the take-up, the line may be held in a taut condition and the window closed.

ll do not limit myself to the particular size, shape, number or arrangement of parts, as shown and described, all of which may be varied without going beyond the scope of my invention as shown, described and claimed.

What I claim is A supporting member capable of being attached outside of a window, a pivot carried by the supporting member extending inwardly 01? a window frame, an arm revoluble upon the pivot and capable of extension through the window and into a room, a pulley attached to the arm, a takeup member revoluble upon the pivot and extending on opposite sides thereof and means carried by the two extremities of the takeup member to engage a line passing over the pulley.

Signed at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, this 16th day of April, 1921.

WILLIAM BUDDE.
